Battery life
Battery life is only average – in normal use we found the 2300mAh battery will last a day, less for power users. The Power Saver and Sleep Mode will be your friends here but unlike the Sony Xperia Z you can't whitelist apps, like email, to keep updating you even when everything else stops pulling in data.
So which are the main culprits for draining juice? Zoe, for one, is best left alone if you're worried about lasting the day but Sense itself needs a fair amount of power too. Plus it's best to stick a brightness toggle on one of your homescreens.
For the record, the HTC One lasted just over eight hours in our video rundown test on medium brightness with Wi-Fi on, a SIM in place and no power saving activated. That sounds impressive but as we said, the One will need overnightly charges. There is a £45 HTC External Battery Bank, which contains a 6000mAh battery, available too if you find your handset is dead by 5pm every day. We'd also recommend the excellent Mophie Juice Pack for HTC One at £90 which will double the One's battery and gives it some extra protection too.
